Hold The Line w/ Buck Sexton - 06-21-22

Buck Sexton. Is the left fighting a losing battle on many fronts of the culture war Right now, it certainly seems like it's moving in that direction, which would be the first time in a long time that the Democrat Party, the progressives of those who seek to do damage to our lasting traditional cultural institutions may find themselves with the

American people saying enough is enough. But first, the Supreme Court decision that we're all waiting for that is expected based upon a leak of an earlier draft to overturn Row the Wade has not been released as of yet. It could come any day now. It is likely to come in the next week or so. And that means that there are going to be some people who view this as a massive, a massive move in the right direction when it comes to the rights of unborn babies.

There will be others, however, the activists of the pro abortion movement who are enrage And one thing you notice about so many of the people that are the most vocal in favor of abortion. They often seem unhinged and quite a bit nasty. Here's a pro choice activist, for examples, shouting some abscenity, obscenities at students for like what such anger and also sadness at the same time from a

young woman who clearly is bit lost. But there are so many of these abortion activists, these people for whom abortion is really they find the fundamental freedom of women that seem deeply unhappy, unsettled, perhaps even a bit unhinged, And that's gonna get a whole lot worse if the decision does come down as a five four overturning of Row the Wade. Democrats don't have any particular messaging on

this that holds together makes sense. Vice President Harris, for example, has said recently that there's nothing about abortion that will require anyone to abandon their faith. Well, if you're a Catholic, for example, a believing Catholic who follows the tenets of the church, that's not true. Despite the fact that there

are Democrat activists and Democrat politicians who say otherwise. There is in fact a connection or many people of faith to the need to protect unborn babies in the womb, and this seems like a major a major blow to the Left is coming at least in the days ahead here from the reversal of Roe v. Wade, And after decades of being able to lean on this stake constitutional right, now they'll have to actually take this to the States, which means making an argument instead of just shouting about

how it's a right, it's a right. So they may lose because of the courts on that one. On the issue of the transagenda and transgender athletes specifically, much more likely that the Left is going to be losing ground as we see it play out going into the midterm elections. Megan Rappino is a female soccer player from the US national team who is for the end of her career.

She's almost forty, and she has given some very dismissive and snide comments recently about anybody who plays women's sports being upset at the fact that there are men, biological males, individuals with male genitalia, x Y chromosomes, etc. That anyone who's upset about that play about them playing in female sports is being childish, being selfish. I mean, here's one example of a quote from her show Me the evidence that trans women are taking everyone's scholarships, dominating in every sport,

winning every title. I'm sorry, it's just not happening. So we need to start from inclusion, period and as things arise, I have confidence that we can figure it out, but we can't start from the opposite. It's cool and frankly disgusting, she said. So we need to really take a step back and get a grip on what we're talking about here, because people's lives are at risk. Kid's lives are at risk when the rates of suicide, rates of depression, negative

mental health, and a drug abuse. We're putting everything through God forbid a transperson be successful in sports. Get a grip, take a step back. And she also said something along lines of your daughter's high school volleyball team, isn't that important? Get over yourself. She's a fraud and an imbecile. Fraud insofar as if men were allowed to play in women's sports, nobody would ever heard of her because she would be dominated not just by any male professional soccer player, by

trained fifteen and sixteen year old men. As we know, they actually were able to defeat the women's national team and a friendly not long ago. I think they are actually fourteen and fifteen year old. So fourteen and fifteen year old men can beat the best women's soccer team in the world. Yeah, so start with that, which I think is just interesting because after she was able to use sex segregated sports to her advantage for decades, now

she wants to laugh for the destruction of that. But but notice also the way that this is framed as you either don't want people to live or you allow, you know, a two hundred and fifty pound man to play on a women's field hockey team. That's just completely unfair. Everyone knows it. Everyone at a very basic common sense level understands how absurd this is. But wokeness demands you embrace absurdity. Wokeness the left, the Democrat party demand of you that you reject what you can see with your

own eyes, reject what you can observe yourself. And that's why. And also, of course there's a lot of virtue signaling here. Oh yeah, I care so much about trans inclusivity and sports, so I'm a good person. What about the women men who are trying really hard to be the best in their sport, just essentially abolishing that for them is somehow

the dismissiveness, the snide tone Rapino is gross. And then there's Olympic swimmer Sharon Davies, who's who revealed recently she has received death threat because she spoke out against trans women also known as men who think they are women

in women's sport. Why so it really is, you know, everybody is scared because the moment you try to speak out, just ask for furnish, you get called names, you get death threats, you get the cras wringing up your employers trying to get your sack, trying to get your unemployed. You know, there's not being respectful debate on both sides of this, you know, I it has to be out in the open. You know, it's trying to light on everything to find solutions for everybody. And that's what this

has always been about. From my side. It's never been about excluding trans people. It's been about promote too fast forward, promoting fair sport. Yeah, that is certainly what it's about, among other things. And then there's this video the American people, I think recognizing that even in the US Navy, the pronoun mania and the trans inclusivity doctrine our mandatory. This is a US Navy training video. Watch them. Hi, my name is Johnny, and I use he him pronouns. Hi.

And I'm County and I use Chi her pronouns. And we're here to talk about pronouns. What is a pronoun? A pronoun is how we identify ourselves apart from our name, and it's also how people are referred to us in conversations. Using the right pronouns is a really simple way to affirm someone's identity. It is a signal of acceptance and respect. If it's a signal of acceptance and respect, how do we go about creating a safe space for everybody? That's a good question. A really good way to do that

is to use inclusive language. Instead of saying something like hey guys, you can say hey everyone or hey team yeah. And now that you say that, Another way that we could show that we're allies and that we accept everybody is to maybe include our pronouns in our emails or like we just did, introduce ourselves using our pronouns. This stuff continues on this wokeness infiltrating all across the military.

We're gonna end up losing a major ward. At one point, year, and everyone's gonna say, why why do we not have the a spree accord to fight a battle to the very end, because we're worried about pronouns that our friend ned Ryan of American majority coming up in Just as I can to tell us about the political landscape, as there are some elections today and of course the big election coming up this fall, stick around, Let's talk about

There were some primary and special elections underway today in Alabama, Georgia, and Virginia. And there was a big election that just happened last week that has some indicators of what we could be expecting this fall when it comes to Hispanic

vote in the GOP. Whenever we're talking politics, we want a man who has his finger on the pulse, who is a prognosticator par excellence, who understands where all this stuff is going. We've got to talk to our friend, Ned, Ryan, CEO of American Majority. He joins us. Now, my main name, my main man, Ned, How are you buddy? Good to see you, hey, I'm doing well. Book. Good to be

back with you. So the victory of Myra Flores in Texas's District thirty four last week to you, one district tucked down along the US Mexico border, Rio Grande Valley. What do you take from that? Within, Well, I'm pretty optimistic buck already. I don't want to get overly optimistic though looking at these results, but I do think things are moving in our favor and a lot of different ways.

I mean, go back and look at December. There was a bolt done of the Hispanic community in which they were asked who do you plan on voting for in the twenty twenty two mid terms, and it was thirty seven percent Republican thirty seven percent Democrats. So they've been signed along the way that you get to April, Joe Biden's approval rating with the Hispanic community was only at twenty six percent. And the thing that the Hispanic community

has made very clear is their number one issue is inflation. Right. What a shocker. Right, for the rest of the country, it's inflation. For the Hispanic community, it's inflation. So they're looking at this and blaming Joe Biden and the Democratic Party for what's taking place rightly. So, so I think there's a whole lot of different trends that are pointing in our direction that are going to be very beneficial to the Republicans with the Hispanic community come this fall.

I think the Flora's victory is an indication of that. I actually, Buck, I gotta tell you, when you're looking at some of these approval ratings Joe Biden various demographics. Not only is he taking with the Hispanics, he's taken with the Asian American community. I think seventy six percent of them voted for him in twenty twenty he's down at fifty three percent. So it's not only the Hispanic community, but there's other demographics that Joe Biden is very very

badly present. Quinnipiac poll shows that Biden's approval among Hispanic voters dropped from May of twenty twenty one, it was fifty five percent. I mean, you know, solid numbers there for Biden May of twenty twenty two, twenty six percent. That is do not pass, go, do not collect two hundred dollars kind of approval number. That is rough stuff right there. And you're seeing that kind of holding over

the course of months. It's not like it's bumping up and down and going in Biden's bay and then dropping back down. No, it's holding pretty steady at that twenty six point seven twenty eight percent of bruval rating in the Hispanic community. I mean, these are all teletell signs

that they have real problem. I'm stating the obvious, Buck when I say this, Democrats are facing an absolute slacking come this fault, in fact so much Buck, I mean, I'm here in my home state of Virginia, where it was a twelve point flit between twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. When you look at Biden versus Junkin, I have to tell you I feel very comfortable in saying anything that Joe Biden won by twelve or thirteen points in twenty twenty is absolutely in play in twenty twenty two.

In fact, so much so, I'd even go out on a limb and say this, Buck, I think anything that's twenty points are less that Joe Biden won in twenty twenty might absolutely be competitive this fall. So what are some of the races than some of the states or districts that are high profile that you think could be in the indigetable maybe a bit of a reach but gettable category going into this fall. The easiest place to start is with the statewide with the Senate. You look

at Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire. I think those are absolutely real pickup opportunities for Republicans. Where I think it gets very interesting is when you start to look at states like Connecticut and Washington in Colorado, where people are thinking, no, that there's no way those could be competitive in twenty twenty two, But those are right at the twenty nineteen I think Colorado was fourteen point margin of victory for Biden in twenty twenty. I think those three Senate races

could be highly competitive. I'm not saying we're going to win them. I think we might be able to sneak one, maybe two of them, though that would be fantastic obviously. I mean, I'm certainly hopeful by the way Moe Brooks swearing off the day in against what is it britt in britt in Alabama? What do you think of? What do you think of that race for that Senate seat? You know, Brooks got the Trump endorsement, The Trump endorsement got went drawn. I mean, I've known Mo Brooks, so

I knew himhen he was a congressman. He was really good on the border, really good on immigration. That's all I really remember about his time then, though, So what went on here, Well, it really came down to Moe Brooks announcing in front of a very large rally that he thought we needed to move past the twenty twenty elections, which of course is a big issue with Trump. On top of that, he was running a rather lackluster campaign at the time. I think a combination of factors Trump

Trump pulled the endorsement. I have to tell you what irritated Trump coming down the home stretch in the primary was that Mo actually continued to use that endorsement after it had been rescinded and sent out a mail or so. People I think were a little surprised that Trump endorsed britt afterwards in the runoff. I was not actual. How do you have any any prediction for us on that one? People are voting as we speak. I gotta tell you, I would love to see Moe Win being completely honest,

but I'm giving Brits the nod. I think she's going to be able to pull it out because you have to understand she's Shelby's former chief of staff, and Shelby has a very powerful machine inside of Alabama. Even though Trump is very popular and Trump is very popular as well. So I think those two combined factors are going to make it very hard for Moe to overcome. But hey, I would love to see Moe win. I just think

BRIT's gonna pull it out to night. And uh, you know, the the race between herschel Walker, you know, I I interviewed herschel earlier today on Radio UM and he showed a real grasp of the issues and particular fluency I think in connecting to people over the issue of gas prices. You know, if if there's one Senate race that you are you really you know, what's the biggest one for you that you that you think is going to be

the harbinger of things to come? I mean, is it that race between Warnock and herschel Walker or is it Laxalt out of Nevada? I mean, which one are you gonna be watching most closely? I feel really confident about Georgia, Arizona and Nevada. I think the one that's going to tell you is going to be a disaster. Is New Hampshire. If we take back New Hampshire. I think it's game on with those other homes. Verbe at home. Who's in that one? And what how's it looking right now? Boy,

It's one of those things. I have to tell you. It's been a little They wanted Sunu, the NSC was recruiting Governor Sonounu. We might not get the top quality candidate that we want, but I think at this point it's twenty twenty two buck and I think any Democrat that's on the ballot and a lot of these states, you have to look at Biden's approval rating. It's in the low thirties. I think he's maybe thirty seven thirty

eight percent in New Hampshire. And I would remind people in the twenty ten shellacking, Obama was at forty four point seven percent approval and he got absolutely hosed in the House and the Senate races, and Joe Biden is well below that mark, not only nationally, but when you get to these individual states, he's in the low thirties, even in the high twenties, and some of these key center races. I think it's gonna be a good fall, ned keeper fingers on the prize. Thanks so much for

being with us, my friend. Good to see you, Thanks Bud. All right, coming up, a major decision on religious freedom comes down in a sixty three ruling from the Supreme What does it mean for people who want to be able to use Devout your program to send their kids to Catholic, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, any schools out there.

A blow for a religious freedom today, struck by the Supreme Court in a six three decision that will make it a whole lot easier for our parents across the country who want their children to go to religious schools to be able to do so. Turns out the wall of separation between church and state, which doesn't actually exist in the First Permendment or the Constitution, isn't quite what a lot of Libs thought it was.

We're joined now by Bethany Mandel. She's editor of Heroes of Liberty and contributing writer at Desirete News. Talk to us about all this, Bethany, thanks for being here, Hey, thanks much for having me. From first, Gill, what was at issue in this six three Supreme Court decision that came down today? What are the facts of the case

that folks need to know. Yeah, So, basically, this Preme Court decided that parents in Maine can use their tuition vouchers for religious schools, not just you know, any old private school, but that they have to be able to use those tuition vouchers even at religious schools. So it was a pretty big decision for school choice advocates today. And so what do you think this means nationwide for the trend It seems of school choice and specifically religious

school of choice. Yeah. Absolutely, So for states that this choice is granted, it opens up the door to a lot more a lot more religious schools to be able to take this money. And so, you know, not just Catholic schools, but you know, schools of any religious persuasion can take this money from voucher programs and and you know, expand their programming into parochial programs that were that were just sort of channeled before into private education without any

sort of religious structure. The basics, as I see here, that this could increase school voucher programs, tax credits to fund scholarships, and tax exempt educational savings accounts. The Supreme Court decision reads, under the new program, parents designate the secondary school that would like their child to attend, public or private, and the school district transmits payments to that

school to help defray the cost of tuition. Also, the documented states that if a state uses taxpayer money to pay for students attending non religious private schools, it must also use taxpayer funds to pay for attendance at religious schools. So, I mean, do we expect that this will perhaps increase enrollment at schools that are a Christian, Jewish, or Muslim and anything else that may be involved here or what? What

What do you think? Yeah? No, absolutely. I mean for a lot of parents who wanted to pull their kids out of the public school system, money was a huge consideration, and so they were sort of, you know, in Maine or in similar states, they were deciding, you know, we'll send our kids to a private school that's better than the publics. But if the money can't go to a religious school, then I guess we'll try to send them to a different sort of more morally aligned private But

now they don't have to make that choice. Now they can they can have their money follow their student to a religious school or to not a religious school, and that really opens the door for a lot of religious schools that had been hampered by the fact that, you know, their competitors down the road, who didn't have a religious affiliation were able to take a lot more cash from the state, and now they're able to take it too.

The Chief Justice John Roberts, who joined the majority in this sixth three decision, wrote that Maine's non sectarian requirement for otherwise generally available tuition assistance payments violates the free exercise clause of the First Amendment. What do you think, Yeah, I mean, it absolutely does parents have to you know, I don't understand why they. I mean, I do understand why they limited the use of these funds for religious schools.

It's because they wanted to handicap them, and it was against the religious freedom, the religious rights of these schools to be able to take this money just like any other private school. And so yeah, I mean it was a long time coming. Also in the minority opinion here, Justice Soda Mayor shared her thoughts as follows. This Court continues to dismantle the wall of separation between church and

state that the Framers fought to build. The Court has upended constitutional doctrine shifting from a rule that permits states to decline to fund religious organization the one that requires states, in many circumstances to subsidize religious indoctrination with taxpayer dollars. I honestly do wonder as I read this if Justice Soda Mayor knows that the wall of separation between church

and state isn't actually a thing. Yeah, I mean, and it's also disturbing that she thinks, just sending your kids who a Jewish school or Catholic schools religious indoctrination. No, it's just education. There is so much wrong with that statement that I don't even know where to begin to

unpack it. Yeah, I mean, she's she's citing this obviously, and you could say it's a very common talking point among people that are either atheist or believe very strongly in and denigrating any kind of public, public exercise of religion or anything in the public cheer. Of course, it doesn't appear in the first round. It doesn't appear in the Constitution anywhere, and they speak of it with reverences

as though it does. So. I mean, I think that this at least shows that on some key issues of First Amendment freedom, this Court seems to be unified with a sixth three at least a sixth three decision, which is a good thing. I also want to ask what you think about the big push going on right now from the leg separately from this, to push for children to be exposed to drag perform which this has become

a big cultural flashpoint. A lot of people will openly say this is a good thing and that drag like why does drag queen story our have to be something that people get behind? Why not just have adult males or adult females dressed as they normally would reading to children? Like what what do they get out of this? I don't know, I mean, where is justice? Soota my word? Right now, let's let's protect children from this religious indoctrination of the drag queens. This is this is part of

their religion. They think that, you know, drag queens have to have this access to children, and therefore why didn't their horizons. I'm really not sure. What it comes down to is just the total sexualization of childhood, which is their ultimate goal. And I really I don't understand the fervent desire to expose children to gyrating men dressed as women.

But there's so so much wrong with it, and your parents can do whatever they want to do, but we're paying for it with our tax dollars in public schools, in public school library and when they do these events in New York City and also in the public libraries as well. Yes, it just seems to me that this would be such an easy issue to be dealt with by just everyone agreeing. There's no reason for this to

be happening in the first place. But it's obviously important to a segment of the left that young children are exposed to people who are men who are dressed as women. Yeah. Yeah, I really don't understand it. I mean it used to be, you know, when Pride Month was around, I don't know, five years ago, it was just a celebration and it was just, you know, everyone has to accept us. And now it's become sort of force fit, not just at us,

but also our children. And if you don't want your taugh oddler being read a book about Swish, go the Drag Queen's Hips, which is a real book. Suddenly you're a bigott. The line keeps on going farther and farther, and we should have drawn it a long time ago, and now with the drag Queen Story hour, I think finally we're starting to realize that they're just all out assault on childhood, on innocence, on all of it. Bethanny,

thanks for being with us. Thank you. The Twitter Board has approved officially Elon must take over bid for that social media giant. When we come back, we'll speak to Kara Frederick of the Heritage Foundation about just what this means and where it's all going to stay with us. Each morning, the President of the United States receives a highly classified briefing on the most important issues facing the country.

It's called the President's Daily Brief, or PDB. It's delivered by America's spies and analy Well, now you can hear your very own PDB in the form of a podcast hosted by me Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer. Each morning at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen to twenty minutes of the most important issues facing the country, giving you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to start your morning. Elon Musk, a step closer to his

actual takeover of Twitter. Board has met of that company and they have approved Elon's takeover bid. So what does this mean? How do we get to this point? Where are we going? What does it mean for free speech? All that good stuff we got? Kara Frederick with us, now director of the Tech Policy Center at the Heritage Foundation, former Facebook employee, She knows how these big tech companies work. Kara, thanks for being back with us. Of course, thanks for

having me Buck. So how much of a milestone is this that Elon's actually gotten the approval of the board over at Twitter. First of all, are you surprised at all? Is this what you were expecting? And where do we go from here? Look, I will say I'm a little surprised.

The last time I was on the program, I was like, I'll give it fifty fifty at this point, because they've thrown up obstacles in his way again and again and again, the Joint SECDJ investigation, allegations of sexual misconduct, the board taking the poison pill from the beginning, so I was not so sanguine about this actually coming to fruition. So I think this is a pretty big milestone. But as Elon himself has said today, there's three things that are

still unresolved that need to be fixed. Basically before this goes forward. One the bot issue, right, he wants to get it under five percent, the funding that all has to come together. And number three, the shareholders still have to vote to approve this take over. So three things, some little, some not so little, but again, this is a This is a massive win I think for the people on the side of free speech and for Elon himself. So what are the steps down? I mean you mentioned

so there'll be voter approval, a stock shareholder approval. Do we have any idea of what a timeline could be before? I mean, basically, people want to know when are all the Libs who are crying at their desks at the mere prospect of free speech and Twitter? When are the tears going to start to flow? Because this is a done deal and it's all over for the open censorship of conservatives on Twitter. You know, I think they should

get the tissues out at this point. I'm not quite sure exactly when in terms of a timeline, but I do think the shareholders would be wise to vote in favor of this because right now Twitter is trading considerably below what Elon's actually offering per share for the company.

Stocks are up a little bit. I think one percent was the last figure I saw before I came on here, But you know it is I think the fiduciary duty of the board they did it right, they said yes, and for their shareholders to actually let Elon take this thing over. So I think that the Libs better get their tissues out and again our prague Agerwall and all of his lackeys better keep cleaning up the platform because

at this point, I think Elon's coming. If Twitter becomes a true free speech guided platform, right, I mean, Elon's always said, illegal stuff will still be illegal. You know, you can't operate a digital you know, illegal drug market or something on the platform. Obviously there are going to be some things that they still don't allow and police.

But if Twitter does actually allow, you know, important political debate from both sides of the aisle as part of its mission going forward, do you think that will have a meaningful impact on the way some of the other platforms, notably your former employer Facebook, maybe even TikTok, approach their approach censorship, because you know, then they won't all be in it together, right, at least they'll be a break in and the chains are breaking in the links of

the chain of collusion here. You know, Buck, you took the words out of my mouth. Number one, I have no hope for TikTok. So take that CCP own nonsense out of here. Do what you gotta do to get the kids off TikTok. Throw it away. Table that for a second, Facebook, potentially. But what you said is the bigger issue. It's breaking that ideological monopoly. What most people don't know is that these tech companies, they move in concerts. So Google's going to look to Facebook, Facebook's gonna look

to Twitter. They're all gonna look at each other and see, are you making this decision? Okay, we're gonna follow suit. We feel comfortable when one tech company makes a content moderation decision, so we can make it too. But Twitter, if they are going to be the stalwart, if they're gonna you know, poke their head above the press, the parapet and basically say no we believe in the first I meant within the bounds of the law. Elon's words,

that is going to break that ideological monopoly. So they can't all move in concert and then sort of point fingers at each other when something like the Hunter Biden laptop story is suppressed so that's what I see, and you pointed it out very clearly, is that breaking of the ideological monopoly Twitter is going to be a wrench in the spokes effectively, and will all be excited as conservatives, as freedom minded people for that to happen. I think

it's an internal chat chat companies Slack. I've never used it. I've read a lot of stories about this one. I know a lot of corporations use This kind of reminds you of what Aol instant messenger was back in the day for some people, but Slack has banned it. That it was in the news this week the immigration restriction group Federation for American Immigration Reform from using any of its services for allegedly violating the company's terms of service.

But they said they wrote a letter to Slack quote, you should be advised that fairies well aware there are government actors who are actively trying to CeNSE their Americans right to freedom of speech and their use of tech platforms, including particular individuals the Department of Homeland Security. Evidence that there was intervention by government officials in this matter would be of supreme interest not only to fair but to

the general public. Preserve all intern communications in this anticipation of probable litigation. You know, my friend Alex Barrinson, I know, is in a lawsuit, ongoing lawsuit that has made it past the initial phases and is going into discovery against Twitter. It seems to me that the Federation for American Immigration Reform President he are saying to Slack, Well, if you guys were colluding with the government, the sitting Biden administration,

for example, this is going to be a legal issue. Exactly. It's time to start treating these companies as quasi state actors. We've seen this happen again and again, Jimsaki telling Facebook we're working with them to flag problematic posts, her doing it again to Spotify during the Joe Rogan issue when

he platforming doctor Malone. Where you have Joe Biden saying private companies need to do more to police COVID misinformation, DHS Secretary Majorca saying that we're working with these private companies to ensure legitimate use of the platform, and then the leaks from the Disinformation Board saying that we're operationalizing this, working with the government, working with the executives a Twitter to police American speech. This is indicative of a pattern

that we've seen again and again and again. And you're right, is it a legal issue? Doesn't render these quote unquote private companies as potential state actors. I think that's a pretty good argument that it does. And I will say when the climate change experts come out and who work for the government and basically say we're working with platforms to take down climate or potentially push them to take

down climate denialism. YouTube already institute is something like that last October, then you have a big problem on your hands. This is government and tech company collusion and big tech are the new enforcers of what his right speak according to the government. Huge problem. Take him to court. Put the hammet on on these tech companies for this, because they cannot be the mouthpiece of the Biden administration to the detriment of the American citizen period. Gara Frederick always illuminating.

Thanks for being with us, Thanks Bud Biden fell off his bike. Trump has some thought that's coming up next quick it. Oh, it's time for those stories we throw together for you at the end to make sure you don't miss them. Some are wacky, some are crazy, some are fun, some are oh my gosh, and more quick hits. Let's get right to it. We have, as you know, bicycle gate, not really just kidding. Joe Biden slipped on

his bike a little bit. He's fine, didn't hurt himself, but it just looked a little goofy for a second. And it's funny to watch how you point this out and some members of the regimes protectors and the media is say, oh, it's you know, it's fine. Everybody falls, everybody slips. What's the big deal. Well, you know, it's not a big deal until they make it a big deal. And at some point you say to yourself, what the

heck is going on here? But Trump, always able with the one liner, is always ready to step into the fray. Had this to say about the habit that several previous presidents have had about riding bicycles while they're in office. Plot one of the greatest travesties of all is to see a person in the White House who, even after years of political experience, has absolutely no clue how to be the president of the United States. And I hope he has recovered because, as you know, he fell off

his bicycle. To them, No, I'm serious, I hope he's Okay, fell off a bicycle. I make this pledge to you today. I will never ever ride a bicycle. Never ride a bicycle. I'm not a big bicycle got to be out. I do ride any scooter in to do this show, which is a very fun way to get around. You don't necessarily look like a badass that's putting it mildly, but you do get there quickly and it it's fun and

just sort of scoot scooting around. Bicycle's not for me, not for the former president either, and maybe president again. So I believe that we are all fighting a war against noise, and there are people who are on the side of the inconsiderate and the people who are in the side of the considerate. This is a battle between evil and good, between those who have some desire to protect civilization and those who don't care if it comes

a part of the themes. And excessive noise is all over the place these days, people on their speaker phones and restaurants playing their bluetooth speakers. At the beach, I don't want to hear whatever the make believe DJ of the Moment thinks we all need to hear at the beach. I just want to hear the waves and the birds and quiet. I don't want to hear their crappy music. Right. Everyone understands that this is the civilized response, and those

who don't aren't very civilized. And you know, if someone's having a wedding and they ask you, hey, can you maybe just stop with the lawnmower. It's their wedding day, you know, maybe you just wait before you have to take care of the lawn right away. The lawn is not gonna the lawn is not gonna catch on fire if you don't cut it right. In that moment, New York posted a story about how this a woman continued with our lawnmower even during a wedding next door. The

neighbors are having a wedding in their yard. They couldn't even hear the vows because the lawnmower was so loud, and couldn't We couldn't get this. They couldn't get this neighbor to stop with the lawnmower. So it's got to tell you, you know, be considerate. Excess noise unacceptable, and excess noise when it's not next Sarah, if you can time it out, you know, no reason, no reason for that.

Here's a poster photograph in New Jersey school that says, if your parents aren't accepting of your identity, I'm your mom now. Poster includes a bear and bearcubs colored like the the Pride flags. I believe that's that's what this

is all about. Um, there needs to stop being this movement among leftists and and some people in the schools to try to have kids become trans without their parents knowing, because we all know that this is really weird and they need to stop, and that there's a social contagion going on here. But very they get very tense when you bring that stuff up. And then the White House Press secretary response to a question about the recession, and

here's what she said. You got to see it. The President said, there's no inevitability around the recession, but there is a greater deal of market concern about exactly that. And I know the inflation that you're number one concern, But can you talk a little bit about if you're doing anything at all to prevent a recession or arising unemployment. So the way that we see this, and you've heard us talk about this, that we're in a moment of transition.

We have seen. We are in a unique situation with our with the historical gains, with our economy the way that we see it as unemployment rate has held steady at three point six, which is also near historic lows. Business and investment remains strong, Household balance sheets remains strong. There was an analysis that came out recently that showed middle class Americans had an additional ten thousand dollars in savings then before the pandemic. All right, not not good

talking points from the White House. Not a good narrative as ever. Tonight's hold the line the no spinos of Bill O'Reilly is next Bill Tie. Each morning, the President of the United States receives a highly classified briefing on the most important issues facing the country. It's called the President's Daily Brief or PDB.
